> please someone give me a job where I can work 12 hours a day - but the rest of the 12 hours I don't need to think about what will happen tomorrow

Why do you dream about working 12h a day when 8h is pretty standard.

Just to emphasize the "but the rest of the 12 hours I don't need to think about what will happen tomorrow" part.

I dunno. Maybe the value is in the data siphon from gullible companies trusting Hex with their data.

> but this ain't exactly Mickey Mouse. Even Mickey Mouse is out of steam by now.

Hasn't Mickey Mouse been out of steam since the 50s? He is a normal guy and you need to base any short about someone else to make it interesting. Like the squirrels or Donald Duck...

If I remember correctly Stan realized that the old things he liked were shit in that episode. Anti-nostalgia. OP describes the opposite.

I haven't seen the episode but I can imagine the critique is pretty valid. However, sometimes it goes too far in the opposite direction. Sometimes things _are_ actually worse now :)

No way. It is not sampling bias. Big budget movies have gotten worse script wise compared to the 90s and 00s.

The scene workers have gotten better though. And there are a lot of good movies being made still, but not by the mainstream industry that used to really deliver.

Which they (probably?) should otherwise they will overtreat their patients for false positives.

Averages are not much use if you are the patient whose diagnosis was missed

You seem to imply current day Disney has some sort of ownership over prior art.

Because they legally do?

"Handwaving opportunity". I think you hit the nail there. I will steal that. The opportunity to label critique as treason also make corruption and bad policy in general go rampant. I think that is the strongest factor.

I don't know how people can have such a romantic view. Like read some fictional books on the matter. All quiet on the Western front or Catch 22.

Back cutting and corruption goes rampant and the worst kind of people profiteer while losers are slaughtered.

The gamified precurment system is just neoliberalism taken to the extreme. I mean Goodhart's Law is a warning not a guide.

When the dust settles I think the precurment system will be seen as detrimental. Military power structures need to be boring such that it doesn't eat it self.

Yeah except the web browser and mail client I wish the default would be no open sockets for you ever.

Unless it is a distribution policy to respect privacy by default it is just to much work to keep up with all the leaks the system might have.
